Angry Goose Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Great 4.5 million dollar investment. LOL. Player gets injured and you're ragging on who? Burrows? MG? If you can't handle the fact that injuries are a reality for ANY player you need to go grab a blankie and take a nap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pouria Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Great 4.5 million dollar investment. This is like crashing your BMW or your Lexus and then regretting that you spent money on buying your car after you crashed it. Seriously, what a stupid comment. Would you also say the same thing if a Sedin got injured? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugar baby watermelon Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Can't catch a break this guy..... jeez even though he wasn't scoring, he is so integral to our team, him and Kes on the PK is dynamite every time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salacious Crumb Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Gotta luv dat guy der. Hope he's not out long. Here's to hoping Archibald is the call up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Industrious1 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Well this is an injury the Canucks really didn't need (not that any are..). I hope if he sits out any amount of time that he doesn't dwell on his lack of production and comes back to %100 Burrows form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackcanuck Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Does Kassian now go from the Press Box as a healthy scratch to the first line to replace Burrows? Maybe Kessler back to the first line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Players have played through worse in the playoffs. That's a fact. Are these some of the players now suing the NHL over life long concussion problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvoLu7ioN Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Time for GMMG to find his big boy pants, take off whatever he has on now and put them on, and then go out and find a legitimate top 6 scoring forward. Even when Burrows returns we still have Higgins and one of Booth/Hansen in the top 6. These are great depth guys capable of playing on the 2nd for stints, but they're not the caliber of players you want to rely on to score in the playoffs.

These are great depth guys capable of playing on the 2nd for stints, but they're not the caliber of players you want to rely on to score in the playoffs. How do you suggest we get a top 6 forward? Blackmail? Kidnapping? Booth won't net you a top 6 forward. Are you willing to give up our young (and cheap and reliable) defensive prospects? A first round pick? One of our promising forwards? It's not NHL 14, where NTC's don't exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 By the way did you folks notice where San Jose got Couture and Hertl? In the draft. The best way to fix our forwards is scout properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johngould21 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Hard luck story of the year. Get back soon Burr. To all of you and your, guys have played through worse in the playoffs comments, try walking with a broken jaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Well, that's unfortunate. I hope MG finally realizes that there is a top 6 scorer he needs to add to the lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Vintage Canuck- Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Crosby came back quick as well. Here's hoping Burr gets healthy, but at least we wont be missing any scoring! Same with Zach Parise. After being ruled out 2-3 weeks, he skated the next day and returned 2-3 weeks early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucksnihilist Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 By the way did you folks notice where San Jose got Couture and Hertl? In the draft. The best way to fix our forwards is scout properly. For sure we are living the pain of trading away half of our picks the last 10 years. But it's not just scouting properly, the draft is a bit of a crap shoot. it's about sheer numbers and % of working out. Of course it helps if you know what you are doing. but with the decimated prospect pool, we have no way of trading to get anyone of significance. what would we do: 1. trade a prospect like bo or shin? 2. trade a young player who might be good schroeder or kassian? 3. get one of the existing players to give up their no trade: get Kesler to leave? Edler? Other teams would have interest in them. 4. trade your future draft picks ... again ... looks like this is the only think they can do... ... burrows injury is the nail in the coffin this season though... totally sucks.

TimberWolf Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Trading struggling players can only net you low potential youth or lower draft picks (or both) Teams that are willing to fire sale their top guys are not looking to replace them with similar players or worse. They are looking for a youth movement. If Gillis goes shopping there are only two names (and our first round pick) that teams will be interested in. Those names are not Edler or Booth.
